As a part of our services, we carry out soil and leaf testing.   We utilise advanced laboratory facilites of Metagen Pty Ltd. Metagen specialised in 

• DNA soil testings to assess bilogical health levels
• Enzyme assays
• Standard soil tests, including mineral and trace element testingwell as surveys and nutritional visits. Pest scouting can be done fortnightly, monthly or half yearly, or as often as needed, depending on your system.

Metagen is an Australian owned biotechnology business focused on helping Australian growers optimise crop productivity and profitability.  

We utilise advanced microbial technology and our metagenomic laboratory offers a new generation in agricultural analytics.

In 2019 Metagen took over Petrik Soil Technology in Australia with the aim of advancing formulations through new research and innovation. We value sustainable solutions that lift productivity and have a high focus on improving crop health through new mechanisms for disease managment.  Our technology  at all times look to optimise and tap into the natural efficiencies and powerful processes of nature.  

We  understand the pressure on growers and work closely infield with growers part of our research processes. We believe there are smarter ways to farm that will bring new gains in productivity.

Science is showing us how.

Increase knowledge of Nematode activity in sugar cane crops

Partnership with SARDI, University of Queensland and Total Grower Services

The aim of this project is to quantify soil health using beneficial nematodes as a key
indicator Spp, then calibrate metagenomics as a method of assessing through the Metagen laboratory.

The project is focused on assessing nematode species and activity in sugarcane crops. This data will provide important long-term benefits to the sugarcane industry and aims to improve both sustainability and productivity.
Metagen will provide comprehensive DNA test assessing the total diversity and abundance of all soil nematodes, in addition to a range of other soil microorganisms.

The project is being conducted together with Total Grower Services (Agronomy) The University of Queensland, SARDI, Biological Crop Protection.
